Really a great experience!Claudie and Greg are trully awesome!!They welcomed us with generosity and many little attentions!!Peacefull and quiet was the place,we had the feeling of being part of their family.We sure will be back again!!!

great house, lovely people green breakfast shake a bonus! couldn't ask for a better place to stay

Claudie is an exceptional communicator and is very accommodating. She provides everything from good advice, friendly conversation and privacy, depending on your needs. I felt like I was staying at a (very attentive) relative's house. The room and house are exactly as described and pictures in the listing. If anything, the room is bigger than I expected. There is decent closet space and a large bookshelf not pictured as well as open floor space. The cats are perfectly described in the listing as well. You would not know there were any cats in the house without a formal introduction. I still do not know much about Newmarket. But Claudie showed me a small portion of the town, and it was very nice and walkable. I was in town for an interview in Portsmouth, so I just needed a nice night and good start the next morning. I got the job - that's all you need to know. I would definitely stay with Claudie again.

Claudie and Greg are wonderful hosts, very kind, very considerate and very generous. We had some nice conversations while I was at their place. Both hosts were very considerate of my needs, and of privacy. The stairs to the bedroom are indeed "European style", but no problem with a small suitcase. The photos represent their cozy and comfortable home well. I would definitely stay again.

We had a great time in Newmarket during our stay! Claudie and Greg were very welcoming and friendly, and helped us in every possible way to feel at home. Although this was our first week in the US and everything was new to us, Claudie helped us a lot to settle in. She knows the area excellently and can recommend you lots of outdoor activities. The room was very clean and neat when we arrived, it is more spacious than it looks on the pictures. We also really liked the decoration! The bathroom and the kitchen had everything we needed. All in all we had a fantastic few days and would recommend it to everybody. Thank you Claudie and Greg!

Felt like I was staying with family. The listing was accurate and the location is convenient to UNH.

Claudie was generous and accommodating from start to finish - I was in late and out early and she made me feel entirely at home. I highly, highly recommend her charming and peaceful home. And the baked apples for breakfast, a real treat!

We have never felt more welcome from a host on Airbnb. Claudie is amazing. Everything was perfectly laid out as far as things that you may need with notes to guide. We had an amazing breakfast that she prepared (coffee, zucchini bread, strawberry parfait, fresh fruits) with a great conversation. We really felt at home. You can't even tell there are 5 cats there -no smell and the bedroom is a cat free zone. We will certainly stay here again and this is one place not to miss!!!

See what we loved about our stay.

Tracy and the cats were very welcoming! The house, grounds and views are amazing - we loved the view from the balcony and being able to use the beautiful pool! Definitely recommend this listing!! Thanks!

If you are planning a trip to this area, stay here! My husband and I relaxed at Tracy's house for two days, and we felt pampered: gorgeous view, pool, comfy bed, spacious living area, spa-like bathroom amenities, access to a kitchen, complimentary coffee and snacks (enough for a satisfying continental breakfast), and again, the amazing view. Tracy was friendly and provided us with information about the area, and then she gave us complete privacy. I felt like we had rented a luxury apartment for a couple of days. As an added bonus, Portsmouth is really close, and a foodie's dream. One suggestion is if you are a light-sensitive sleeper, bring a sleep mask. To maximize the impressive view, the rooms do not have any blockers from the morning sun...nor would you want them to because waking up facing that view is amazing. Take my advice and stay here. You won't regret it.

I was Tracy's first guest, and though we didn't get to meet due to our busy schedule and late arrival (we were briefly in the area for a wedding near Portsmouth) she had great communication and was very flexible with our stay. The listing is as described, a very spacious room with a nice view of the bay. Everything was clean and comfortable and felt relatively private, with the room being situated on its own 'wing' of the house (a big house). We didn't have time to take advantage of the kitchen, jacuzzi tub, or the pool, but those were great amenities included in the listing. In all, the room turned out to be a nice place to stay.

Excellent attention to detail. We were given access to a private kitchen which was stocked with a keurig, muffins and drinks. She had baskets with potentially forgotten items (toothbrush...) and area dining recommendations. Very comfortable and quiet.

Great experience! Very nice place, and an accommodating & welcoming host. Their golden is very sweet and will give you lots of love if you want it. Couple minute drive to newmarket, which is an awesome town. Would stay again!

The house is lovely, located in a pleasant, wooded neighborhood. The room was spotless and very comfortable. Alix made us feel at home and welcome (John was out of town). Our dog loved playing with their dog, Bryce, in the fenced-in backyard. In the morning Alix offered tea and coffee, and food. All in all, this was a great place to stay! My thanks to John and Alix.

Thank you to John and Allix. Even though we were there only one night, it was a nice stay. The house is very nice and clean, the room was huge, comfi bed!Also, special thank you for fresh pot of coffee and breakfast!

This is a wonderful place to stay. I contacted john late in the day and communication was top notch. The home and room are very tidy and incredibly comfortable. If I'm ever back in the area, this will be a must stay.

The photos accurately showed what the home looked like and the hosts were very accomadting to help me get into the house but I realized that I wasn't going to be able to stay any of my 4 night trip due to outside circumstances and even though I did not put any items down in their home or stay for longer than 2 minutes, they did not even give me a partial refund. I was extremely disappointed by this and it turned my experience into a negative one. Otherwise, the home was how it was pictured and seemed like it would have been a nice place to stay.

This was the perfect place for me to stay while in the middle of a 150-mile bike ride. With Portsmouth hotels being way too expensive (those that were available, anyway), Airbnb was the obvious alternative. This experience will definitely lead me to seek Airbnb accommodations again. John and Allix were great hosts and just let me go on about my business; no need to feel I was simply an invited guest. And of course, the two Golden Retrievers made me feel at home too.

John and Alix were wonderful and very accommodating hosts. You'll be hard pressed to find a quieter street and it was an very easy trip into town for dinner. They made us feel completely comfortable and at-home which is just what we needed. We just wish that we could have spent more time chatting. The room and stay suited our needs perfectly.

We felt welcomed and very comfortable. We enjoyed meeting Allix, and also petting their super friendly dogs. The room was very spacious and all the amenities were nice. We would definitely stay with them again, and recommend it.

The host canceled this reservation 16 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had a great time! It is only a little over an hour from Boston. Richard provided great suggestions for kayak routes right behind the house, places to eat within walking distance, and excellent hiking trails nearby, off the beaten path. House was perfect, has a great deck. Will probably be visiting again at some point!

Richard was a very welcoming host. He gave impeccable driving directions that allowed us to find the townhouse without any trouble, and he was very communicative and receptive to all of our pre-arrival questions. When we asked for restaurant recommendations, he responded with ideas for breakfast (Big Bean Cafe in town is a MUST, just as he said) and dinner, all spot on. In addition, he had a very comprehensive binder of information about both the house and the area, and was kindly not judgmental when we missed the wifi log-in information that was (ahem!) on the front of the binder. There were also other welcoming touches like a bottle of wine on the counter and new toothpaste and small toiletries for our use. Altogether, a wonderful host. The property was just what we wanted, relaxing and peaceful while also offering an easy walk to town. You should know, because we were surprised to find it, that Richard's place is one of maybe a few dozen in a condo complex along the river. Had we know that, it might have discouraged us from coming, and that would have been a terrible loss. The neighbors were scarce and, when we saw them, friendly but not intrusive -- it truly felt like a private home, despite being in a complex. So don't let that put you off! The weather was lovely on our first day and we happily enjoyed the back deck (just as pictured), jumped into the warm, lazy river and swam, and used Richard's kayaks to meander up-river. It was a spectacular day. Then out to a fantastic dinner at The Oak House (one of Richard's recommendations) and back to a blissful night of sleep. The next day was rainy, so we again went to The Big Bean Cafe for breakfast (20 min wait, but totally worth it) and then curled up with the paper in Richard's comfortable living room. Altogether a wonderful Airbnb experience.

Suellen's little yellow cottage is really comfortable and cozy. I found it to be quite perfect and very quiet (quiet being a key factor for me). She does have parakeets who are entertaining in the morning but never made a peep as I entered the house at night or at any time during the night. The bedroom is in the back of the house and separate from the main area which made for nice privacy. Suellen is very personable and easy to communicate with. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Suellen was very kind and accommodating and the bed was comfortable and warm (heated blankets!). Great stay and very convenient to UNH.

I had a very comfortable, easy stay! This is a lovely area -- rural but just a couple miles from the University of New Hampshire and a few miles from Portsmouth. Suellen is very friendly and hospitable and her birds and gardens are quite charming. I happen to live nearby so I am looking forward to crossing paths in the future!

Sue Ellen was a friendly host, helpful and generous. We travelled with our 3 year old daughter and she was excited so meet her parrot Chester and play in the little wooden house outdoors. Lovely stay.

Awesome place. Great location. Helpful and friendly host. Would absolutely recommend.

Honestly the house is gorgeous and the landscaping is well maintained, and they have a big back yard. My problem was that 2 days before we arrived they called to notify us that their dogs were also staying at the house with us. That's not what I signed up for but ok, Im a dog mom so I understand sometimes the pets cant go with you. Well their dog Turner bit my dog in the head as soon as we walked into their home. It didnt end there, every time Turner was near Khloe (my dog) he would snarl or growl at her. Dave stated he left the fridge stocked for us for dog sitting, well we drank 2 rotten beers and realized most of the beers were expired. I told Dave about what his dog Turner did and he then said that Turner only does it when he is near his food as he is protective but Turner wanted nothing to do with my dog and made sure she knew it. Dave also suggested I bring both of his dogs with me to go hiking, after i told him the incident with Turner. I was honestly stumped by this. I didnt go on vacation to dog sit, let alone bring more responsibilities with me on my activities. What if Turner bit another dog, then thatd be my responsibility. So we paid full price for our stay all while dog sitting their dogs. This made for a stressful vacation every time we walked into and out of the house because we needed to make sure the dogs were separated at all times. I dont think that was fair and at no point in time did they offer a discount or reimbursement for our stay. I remained respectful the entire time too, I fed them, changed their waters, let the dogs out and let them play and made sure they were comfortable before exiting the house every time. I was nice enough to not get upset with Turner and the owners but the more I think about it, it kind of frustrates me that nothing was done for me, as I was so courteous to them. I dont reccomend they leave their dogs with other guests in the future.

Dave had excellent communication leading up to our trip and was very accommodating with specific requests. The house is amazing...even better than the photos and the hot tub is the real cherry on top. We struggled to find the place initially as the link on here takes you to Lane Ave and not Applegate lane. But if you type the address straight in to (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN), it takes you right there. We would definitely stay again. Longer if more affordable. And overall great experience. One of my favourite Airbnb stays so far!

Lovely place! Lovely space! SO quiet and peaceful. I slept wonderfully on their comfy bed in their a/c. Just what I needed. Wish I could've stayed longer. I'll keep it in mind for any future trips I may have in the area. Thanks so much, Dave and MJ!

Had a wonderful stay at Dave and MJ's! They weren't there, but made sure I had everything I needed and the house was beautiful! Thanks so much for everything!

Dave and MJ were not present but communicated with us perfectly via text and email with quick replies. The house is beautiful! The king mattress amazing!!! We brought our own groceries and made breakfast in the kitchen, and each enjoyed a massage in the chair. We would love to stay here again sometime!

2nd time staying at Dave & MJ place. Still 5 stars! Recommended for anyone in the area.

The place is actually way nicer than what the pictures show. Location was good. Within a 10 minute drive from Portsmouth NH. Dave was a very welcoming and gracious host who accommodated all of our needs.

Thank you Don for such timely and smooth communication. Your apartment was the perfect one mile walk from the University of New Hampshire and Durham Community where my seminar took place. It was a lovely stay at The Little Gem of an apartment you have on Airbnb. I especially love that you are set up to leave a gentle footprint on the earth. If I come back to Durham next year I will certainly think of you first.

Great location. New and immaculate. Very comfortable. Well equipped. Loved having the kitchen. This was my first Airbnb and I am hooked. Communications were seamless and easy. I loved staying here and will return to here and Airbnb..

Such a pleasant stay at this BnB! Hosts were quick to respond to all our emails. Easy to find and walking distance to University of New Hampshire, grocery stores, shops, and restaurants. Located in a quiet residential area. Short drive to ocean and scenic walks. Kitchen is new and has everything you would need. The hosts went above and beyond by supplying butter, milk, apple cider, coffee, tea, fruit, English muffins and a bottle of local wine!!!! Furniture was comfortable and new. Wifi worked great. There is a beautiful view out the window of the woods too! I would highly recommend this BnB!!!

The cutest place we've stayed in yet! Spotless, beautiful apartment right in downtown Durham. It was great being able to wake up and walk into town for breakfast and a coffee. Don's wife was so sweet and couldn't have been more accommodating. I would never stay somewhere else when we come to visit our friends in town. Thank you!

If in the area, I would not stay any other place. Don's place is fantastic!

Don and Jeanne's apartment was perfect for our stay in the Durham area. It is within sight of UNH, and less than a minute to downtown. The place is very well set up with everything we could have needed. Beautifully decorated, very well organized, and spacious. The bed was super comfortable, the kitchen absolutely beautiful, and the bathroom clean. The place looks brand new, and not cheaply done, very nice quality. Coffee, a very nice assortment of teas', creamer, etc was provided and appreciated! There was even a plate of baked cookies in the table for us when we arrived. The hosts were super nice and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. Over the top nice, and we certainly recommend!

Don was really great! He met me at check in and walked through the apartment. The area itself was great, and the apartment spectacular. Everything was clean, neat, and it was a pleasure to spend the weekend their. Highly recommend staying here if you want to travel up to New Hampshire.

THE place to stay in Durham! Jeannie and Don were lovely! So friendly, communicative, warm and helpful. I really enjoyed them both! The apartment is delightful! Super well-organized, efficient, and IMPECCABLY clean. Lots of great lighting throughout, a washer and dryer is on hand (if needed), off-street parking, smart TV, full size stainless steel appliances, etc. Very well-appointed! The location is unbeatable! Just steps to UNH, and 3-5 minute walk to downtown, and in a pretty residential area with beautiful homes. You really cannot do any better than this. Thank you Don and Jeannie for the wonderful stay!

Deb and Martin were very welcoming and friendly. Their house is super clean and comfortable, and they allowed full access to their kitchen. They were very accepting of my needs--I only stayed one night, and had to leave very early in the morning. The home is in a quiet neighborhood and has a beautiful garden. It is near lots of wedding venues, the University of NH, and a race-car track. The weekend I was there, there were several fairs in the area, and the cars were revving up until around 9 pm, but it was very quiet after that. I slept to the sound of crickets.

Deb and her husband were very accommodating hosts, the room and bath were very clean and quiet. Highly recommended!

Deb and her husband were very hospitable and I felt welcome during my stay. The room and private bathroom were clean and comfortable. Beautiful views from the house! Overall, I had a great experience.

Deb & Martin made me really welcome when I arrived. It really is a rural area where they live, but as I was only staying there before going further up North along the coast, this was perfect - it's a really quiet place. The room was lovely, very comfortable and everything was clean. Would recommend everyone, who's looking for a quiet place to spent the night, to stay there.

Beautiful house and room, everything super clean, convenient to restaurants and shopping. Deb and Martin are the nicest people! So friendly and helpful.

Debs house was a perfect over night stay

I was in Portsmouth, NH for work, and stayed with Deb and Martin for 4 nights. I was warmly greeted upon arrival, and made to feel at home right away. The guest room I stayed in was very comfortable, and the bathroom is adjacent to it. For extra space to stretch out I had access to the rest of downstairs and to their large deck off the kitchen. I was able to freely chat with my hosts or just retire to my room and finish taking care of business for the day. The neighborhood is quiet and has walking trails nearby. I would return to Deb and Martins's home in a blink.

Comfortable place to stay. Welcoming hosts.

Jake and Brooke's home felt like being at home! We traveled to Durham for my sister's graduation from UNH and we were going to stay in a hotel, but then we found Jake's house last minute and I'm so happy we did! There was plenty of space for all 8 of us to sleep. They were so accommodating and incredibly helpful-even setting up a crib for the baby and setting up the air mattress for us ahead of time! The house is very secluded but Jake gave great directions and we found it without a problem. We talked ahead of time and Jake answered all my questions promptly and even took the time to call and go over any other questions I might have. We mentioned wanting to grill the first night and when we arrived he had all the grill tools out on the counter. We had such a fabulous time and it was amazing to have a space where the family could all just hang out after the graduation and relax. We highly recommend this house to any families coming to Durham for graduation or otherwise! Thanks Jake and Brooke!

Great space plenty of room. Very clean and my wife loved the decor. There is a huge yard that my daughter loved. Very close to portsmouth and all the stores/shops you need.

I truly enjoyed everything about this stay. John and Marilyn were great host with a wealth of knowledge about the area and it's many great assets. The internet was never an issue. Always had 3 strong options to choose from in the space. Comfy bed and very quiet, set back off the road. Great coffee too! An incredible view of a great barn and massive specimen tree. You can feel the history all over the place.

This was a great AirBnB experience! The house was clean, cozy, easy to find. Just a ten minute drive from downtown Exeter.

The appartement well situated with respect to Portsmouth and the shore, and as I showed on photos : nice and cozy. We found, however, dirty dishes that is due to the fact that the dishwasher did not function well at all. Cutlery was clearly not sufficient to eat steak for example, and we did not find correct pans.

We had a great stay in this very nice and orderly house. Our host was very welcoming and easy going. We even got to grill marshmallows with the family. This was a lot of fun. We felt just at home. We would recommend this place to anyone.

The apartment was just as described and the location was excellent for our needs. We enjoyed our weekend stay here.

John's house is very cozy, it was the perfect home base for our family during our vacation on the coast. Thank you again John! See you next time!

This apartment was the perfect find for my visit to Exeter! It's just as described—plenty of space, comfortable bed, convenience of kitchen and laundry room within the apartment too. John has set up a great spot, would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.
